1300km road-trip with Royal Enfield, TVS, BMW, Triumph and KTM

-
Image
Adventure motorcycles promise long-distance comfort, good performance to make a highway stint enjoyable, suspension that can absorb our unpredictable roads and, when the tarmac disappears, enough ability to comfortably keep going. Rather than a conventional comparo, we decided to use the five bikes you see here exactly as their owners might. We loaded them with luggage, pointed them south from Mumbai and headed towards Goa. There was a long highway run, plenty of rain, bad stretches of road, winding sections, fuel stops and, eventually, some mud and trails. More importantly, five riders with very different preferences took turns on every motorcycle.    BMW F 450 GS Trophy Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Triumph Scrambler 400 X KTM 390 Adventure TVS Apache RTX Engine 420cc, twin-cylinder 452cc, single-cylinder 349cc, single-cylinder 349cc, single-cylinder 299cc, single-cylinder Power 48hp at 8,750rpm 40.02hp at 8,000rpm 37hp at 8,500rpm 41.5hp at 8,600rpm 36hp at 9,000rpm Torque 4...

-

Debuted first on the Scram 440 , the upsized 443cc engine now makes 1.4hp more power and 2Nm of torque over the erstwhile Himalayan 411.

The Nissan Gravite , launched in February, 2026, is among the most affordable three-row MPVs sold in the country. In May, Nissan started offering the Gravite with a dealer-level CNG kit, and we’ve now subjected it to our performance and real-world fuel efficiency tests to see how it performs. Nissan Gravite CNG Exterior Design and Engineering - 8/10 A badge-engineered Renault Triber with minor changes. The Gravite is another product to emerge from the Renault-Nissan alliance, but unlike the Magnite and Kiger twins, which utilise completely different top hats to carve out distinct identities, this is essentially a badge-engineered version of the Renault Triber.
